摘要
清末重臣曾国藩的家训思想对当今家庭教育颇具借鉴价值。但由于曾国藩的家训是以家书而非专著的形式出现,思想相当零散,这直接导致了当今学界对其研究的欠深入。曾国藩家书从读书、做人、理家三大方面体现了曾氏家训思想。首先,曾国藩注意教导子弟读书,认为读书的目的是学习圣贤做人的道理,而不是为了应举,必须讲究方法。其次,他认为人人皆可成为圣贤,一个人对家人要孝悌,对世人要谦逊。最后,曾国藩注重理家,认为一个家庭要兴旺,家人必须勤劳、节俭、和睦。
Zeng Guofan, an important senior official in the late Qing Dynasty, gave his family instructions in family letters rather than a book. The thoughts of his family instructions, which do not draw the due attention of scholars, offer valuable implication for the current family education. His thoughts can be summarized from three aspects, i.e. reading books, being a man, and managing household. Specifically, Zeng instructs his children to read books by arguing that the purpose of reading books is not to be a successful candidate in the imperial entrance examination, but to learn how to be a man from the saints. Zeng also argues that everyone can be a saint only if s/he is obedient and humble and that a flourishing family depends on whether every family member is diligent, thrifty and kindhearted.
